Personal Items, Medicines

There are some chains—such as DM, Rossmann, and Müller—which sell toiletries and other personal care items, but carry only a limited selection of medicines (non-prescription only). They have locations throughout the city and in shopping malls.

All prescription and most non-prescription drugs can only be purchased at a pharmacy. (For more information, see Pharmacies under the Health Services section.)
